History & Heritage The Inaugaral Return to Alma Mater: Howard's Very First Homecoming in 1924
In 1924, a statement from The Hilltop about Homecoming tells the magic of the very first Bison reunion.
“Forgotten friendships are awakened and stirred with a new intensity; the students of the present in noisy acclaim to Alma Mater, catch the echo of the shouts that have gone before. Graduates and students merge into one. The former lend a touch of sobriety and dignity to the reunion while the latter exhilarated the enthusiasm and pep which becomes contagious in the pep fest.”
